The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and relates to phenyl
naphthalene derivatives and application thereof in preparation of medicines for preventing and treating tumors or medicines for
neuroprotection. The compound is a compound shown in a formula I or a formula II or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In the formula I, A is not present or is carbonyl, A'is carbonyl,
sulfuryl, oximido and imino, R1 is amino,
nitryl, acylamino, sulfonamide,
aryl methoxy,
aryl ethyoxyl,
fluorine atom,
trifluoromethyl, ureido, amidoxime, amidino and N-methyl sulfonamide, and R2 is
hydrogen atom, methoxy, amino,
nitryl, acylamino, amidoxime, amidino or
fluorine atom; r2 and H2N-A'are located at the adjacent position of a
benzene ring, R2 or H2N-A 'is located at the para-position of phenyl, and X1 and X2 are independently selected from CH or N. The phenyl
naphthalene derivative provided by the invention has relatively high NQO2 inhibitory activity, and can be used as a chemical
drug for tumor treatment and a neuroprotective agent for neurological diseases.
